Movie Haiku:Romanian Ethnologist (Amalric) is called to the Menninger Clinic to treat a troubled Native American WWII Vet (Del Toro). Based on a real case study by George Devereux that helped transform post-Freudian Psychoanalysis. I am the perfect audience for JIMMY P & I wanted to love it, but I found it oblique, confusing & worst of all tedious. Bummer! NOT YET SEEN BY RICH.
